Going Back to Okinawa |
| Goin' back down to Okinawa |
| Sorry, baby, but I can’t take you |
| You better stay at home in California |
| There’s nothing over there that you can do |
| Goin' back down to Okinawa |
| Ain’t gonna do me like you’ve done before |
| They treat me like a king down in Okinawa |
| And I ain’t never comin' back no more |
| It’s just an island floating in the sun |
| Everybody’s having so much fun |
| Pretty mamas laying in the sand |
| Sure do know how to treat your man |
| Okinawian baby, won’t you come by me? |
| Sun going down in the China Sea |
| Making love on the beach all night |
| Okinawa moon is shining so bright |
| Folks in Okinawa sure have fun |
| They get together when the working day’s done |
| Drinking cheap wine and making romance |
| While some old man’s doing the Okina dance |
| Back in the days of World War II |
| Fought against the Japanese like me and you |
| Everybody’s worried ‘bout a World War III |
| Okinawa’s just the place that I’m gonna be |
| Going back to Okinawa |
| Sorry, but I can’t take you |
| Never coming back no more, baby |
